After dinner, the old Guogong took Ye Guogong to the Zhuxiang Pavilion alone with a heavy face.

The next morning, Xunying whispered to Qiu Li that Ye Guogong's left face was a little blue.

Qiu Li said secretly, the old Guogong must have beaten Ye Guogong. It's just that when Ye Feng comes back, Ye Guogong is likely to return this beating. The general's family is not good at this, and when they are unhappy, they will beat people, or they will fight to the death. When others ask, there is something to say, a competition.

From this day on, Ye Guogong was much more honest and did not use official business as an excuse not to go home. Although he has been living in the outer courtyard, he is still okay with He'an.

Three days later, Mrs. Qiu asked someone to send a post, and Qiu Jili's other pair of children returned to Beijing and asked Qiu Li to go home and have a look. also asked her to bring dangdang or bear-like and sunspots, saying that Xu'er had always remembered that Qiu Zhongxu was another concubine of Qiu Jili.

When Dangdang took Tuan Tuan and Yuanyuan and Kuroko into the mountains to play yesterday, the bears have not come back from the mountains. Now, the dog team of the Zuowei Battalion has become large-scale, and even the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Jingzhao Mansion often borrow Rong dogs from them to solve cases. When Dang is like a bear, Kuroko has completed the mission of leading the big brother and is in a semi-retired state.

The next morning, Qiu Li took Brother Jin to Qiu's mansion.

When I arrived at the Ming Main Hall, there were not only the second Mrs. Qiu and the third girl Qiu Min in the side room, but also a little girl and a little boy. This little girl should be Qiu Yu, the fourth girl of Qiu, who is eleven years old this year. The little boy Qiu Zhongxu, Qiu Wuye, is five years old this year.

Qiu Yu and Qiu Zhongxu were both from Qiu Jili's concubine Ma.

Behind the old lady stood a beautiful woman of twenty-six or seventeen years old, who should be Aunt Ma. At the beginning, Aunt Ma and Qiu Zhongshu's biological mother, Aunt Huo, were both girls trusted by the old lady, and she was afraid that the Qi family would send their people to Qiu Jili's side again, so the old lady pointed out these two girls to serve Qiu Jili.

Qiu Li gave Mrs. Qiu a blessing gift, and Brother Jin slid into Mother Ye's arms and kowtowed to the old lady. The little guy has just learned to kowtow by himself, and his movements are not standard, but he has a serious attitude. He also said, "Old Ancestor." ”

The old lady smiled and squinted, and asked people to hug Brother Jin on the kang.

After Qiu Li sat down, the old lady pointed to the two children and smiled, "This is Yu Yatou, this is Xu'er." He smiled at them again, "I'm going to see your second sister." They are all sisters and brothers, and they will be closer in the future. ”

Qiu Yu and Qiu Zhongxu came over to greet Qiu Li. Qiu Li smiled and gave them a meeting gift, Qiu Yu was a set of inlaid treasure heads, and Qiu Zhong continued a jade pen holder, both of which were worth a lot.

Qiu Zhongxu held back for a long time and finally spoke, and asked, "Second sister, why didn't they come when Dangdang and Xiong were like them, listening to Daddy and Fourth Brother, they are very fun and human." ”

Qiu Li smiled, "They all went into the mountains to play." When they come back, they will bring them to the fifth brother. ”

The old lady laughed and scolded "little monkey". He pointed to Aunt Ma and said, "This is the Ma family, who has been serving your father." ”

Aunt Ma came over to bow to Qiu Li, and said softly, "Concubine Ma has seen the second aunt and grandmother. "Be courteous and well-behaved.

Qiu Li nodded "um" and didn't give a greeting gift. Not only because she was not prepared, but also because she did not want to give.

The old lady asked a concubine to salute Qiu Li, it is very likely that Qiu Jili will not marry again in the near future, or never marry a wife, but let this Aunt Ma help the housekeeper.

Qiu Li didn't like the little woman, although this little woman was accepted by Qiu Jili as a last resort.

Aunt Ma helped Qiu Jili as a housekeeper in Hecheng before, and she was a well-deserved Mrs. Rong there. It is not appropriate to return to the capital and continue to manage the Hou Mansion. Even if she didn't have any wrong ideas before, giving too much that she shouldn't give, it will inevitably make her breed some thoughts that she shouldn't have. Moreover, she also gave birth to a son at the beginning, why did Xiao Qi only bring Aunt Huo's mother and son into Beijing, but their mother and son were unscathed?

Hopefully she's just smartly avoided the misfortune and wasn't part of it.

Qiu Li would rather have the heart of a villain than Qiu Zhongshu to be hurt again. Thinking of hinting to the old lady, you must not let Aunt Ma take care of the house......

Aunt Ma was unaware of Qiu Li's attitude, and after saluting, she went to the old lady and poured tea and water for her. Aunt Ma turned out to be the old lady's girl, and she did this easily.

Qiu Yu was young and couldn't hide his thoughts, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes, and he quickly lowered his head.

Even if it was fleeting, Qiu Yu's dissatisfaction was also captured by Qiu Li.

It wasn't until Qiu Zhongshu got out of class that everyone began to eat. Aunt Ma was not qualified to eat at the table, so she served the old lady for a while, and was sent by the old lady to eat at another small table.

After a while, Aunt Ma still wanted to serve the old lady to change her clothes, but was sent away by the old lady, "You go to rest by yourself, and the glass girl will talk to the old woman." ”

After Qiu Li and the old lady lay down, they expressed their concerns. Of course, she can't say that she is not optimistic about Ma, but that Qiu Zhongshu has turned seven years old, and it is time to live in a foreign house and be raised by Qiu Jili himself. It seems that the word "duty" is unintentionally emphasized......

The old lady is old and fine, and she has gone through so many things, so she understands what Qiu Li means. Ma was her girl before, and she instinctively had a trust in Ma, so she didn't think about it so much. Think about it carefully, no matter who you are, if you give too much that you shouldn't give, it will also feed his appetite. And Qiu Zhongshu was originally a concubine like Qiu Zhongxu, but because he was recorded in the name of the Yang family, he became a "concubine", and he will become a prince in the future. If the Ma clan really has bad thoughts, the house is in chaos again......

She patted Qiu Li's hand and said, "Good boy, thanks to you for reminding the old woman, I know, and I will remind your father in the future." A man is not concerned about family affairs, but our family is special, he must be attentive, and he must also personally raise scholars...... Xu'er is still young, come to live in my yard. Yu Yatou can't live with an aunt, so as not to develop a small family spirit......"

After the break, the old lady asked Aunt Ma to inform her not to go to Ming Zhengtang again if she had nothing to do in the future, and asked her to remember her duty, serve the good masters, and give more branches to the Qiu family......

Aunt Ma was about to take Qiu Yu and Qiu Zhongxu to Zhengming Hall, but after listening to her mother-in-law's words, she had to stop. She secretly annoyed that not only would she not be able to manage her family now, but she might also lose more ...... It seems that there are no more comfortable days in Hecheng.

Qiu Yu said angrily, "Mother, it must be the second sister who is talking a lot......"

Aunt Ma hurriedly said, "The fourth girl is cautious. This is the capital, you have to understand the rules, you can only call me aunt in the future, don't forget. Also, you can't say the same about the second aunt and grandmother, she is a concubine, she is favored by your father and great-grandmother, her cousin is the prince, and her in-laws are monstrous. You can't afford to mess with her, it's better to maintain a good relationship......"
